Farmer Wants A Wife’s Clare Hockings and Brad Jones celebrated several major milestones in the months after they filmed the reality show. Not only did she move to Cootamundra, NSW, to live with him, but the season 13 couple also bought a house and welcomed their first child together in December 2023.

Since then, the success story has remained relatively quiet on social media. They’ve each only shared one photo of their son Roy on Instagram this year, which Clare tells Yahoo Lifestyle is a conscious decision.

“When I go to post something, I just think, would I care if I saw this picture of Roy in the local newspaper? Or would he care as a teenager if he saw a photo of him cuddling the dog or whatever?” she shares. “I definitely am aware of not overdoing it and not putting him out there too much, but in saying that, it is just the nature of our lives now.

“I feel like people did watch us from the start and did support us and offered us a lot of support and everything, so I do feel like people are really interested in Roy – and not just Roy, in our day-to-day lives too. But in saying that, we live very boring lives.”

Clare and Brad’s relationship update

Clare admits that she and Brad were “so terrified” when they found out they were expecting so soon after filming Farmer Wants A Wife, and weren’t sure how they were going to cope. 18 months after giving birth, however, she now knows it was “all meant to be”.

“We have definitely learned a lot about each other in the last two and a half years, but we still have a laugh and torment each other, and we’re both really enjoying being parents,” she says.

“I love watching him being a dad. We are in a hard stage of life, we are sort of still revolving around Roy a lot, but it’s good. We’re happy.”

When will Clare and Brad get married?

The one major relationship milestone Clare and Brad are yet to tick off is to tie the knot, which she hints will happen soon.

“We definitely have a bit of a plan and a bit of a rough idea of what we want to do and how we want to do it,” she teases. “Hopefully, in the next year or two, we’ll have an update for people.”

The couple are set to return to screens in an upcoming episode of Farmer Wants A Wife, where host Natalie Gruzlewski checks in with various couples who found love on the show.
